5. ClSSUS HYPOGLAUCA, Sp. Nov. 



C. glabra; foliis digitato-quinquefoliolatis ; foliolis ovalibus oblongisve 

 apicem versus subserratis acuminatis petiolulatis subcoriaceis supra 

 lucidis subtus albo-glaucis ; cymis compositis. 



Hab. New South Wales, near Sydney. 



A glabrous vine, with rather stout branches. Petioles and pedun- 

 cles li to 2 inches long. Leaflets 5, digitate, conspicuously petiolulate 

 (the partial petioles 6 to 12 lines long, except those of the two lateral 

 leaflets, which are 3 or 4 lines long), oval or oblong, 3 or 4 inches in 

 length, abruptly acuminate, sparingly serrate with a few small and 

 sharp teeth above the middle, rounded or obtuse at the base, rather 

 coriaceous in texture, reticulated-veiny, bright green and rather shining 

 above, glaucous-white underneath. Cymes compound, ample, rather 

 loosely flowered. Calyx truncate. Petals 4 or 5. Disk fleshy, 

 slightly 4-5-lobed, closely surrounding the ovary. 



It is singular that so conspicuous a plant should have escaped 

 notice in the neighbourhood of Sydney ; but I do not find the species 

 described, nor does it occur in the Hookerian herbarium. 



6. Cissus geniculata, Blume? 



Cissus geniculata, Blume, Bijdr. p. 184 ?

 wood Bay. (From both habitats without flower or fruit, and there- 

 fore undeterminable.) 



7. Cissus Yitiensis, Sp. Nov. 



C. glabra; foliis trifoliolatis ; foliolis subcarnosis ovatis seu ovalibus 

 petiolulatis acuminatis dentato-serratis ; cymis brevissime pedunculatis.
